I'm really annoyed by this. One moderator loves to pointlessly delete quotes from user posts. Please stop. It makes no sense. It doesn't help anybody and actually hurts.
Quoting previous posts is a clear reference to which post I am replying to. And when somebody doesn't read whole topic but only skims through it, it allows to go only forward w/out backsearches "what did he mean" |

I usually use the fast reply button to add replies to posts, since I generally don't need to reffer to something specifically.
Said that, i do use the quote and reply buttons sometimes, and i definitely edit the texts as to quote exactly what I am interested in quoting. I am on the side of the moderators in this respect, since quoting the whole post is usually more annonying to the thread as a whole than not having a quote. Also, adding a quote "just because someone might reply while I am writing my reply" is like trying to fix something before it is broken. Sincerely, a board is not an e-mail list. The posts are there and usually there is no need for quoting the whole text, and I don't think small quotes are getting deleted. |
